RU143158U1 - CAR MONITOR - Google Patents

Abstract

The car monitor is a liquid crystal display screen corresponding to the standard sizes of existing traffic lights, which shows the operation of three sections of the traffic light, red, yellow, the direction of movement in the green section and the corresponding waiting time.

Description

A utility model is a liquid crystal monitor corresponding to the standard dimensions of a traffic light. It can be used, when organizing traffic, to increase the throughput of roads, intersections, driver information and pedestrian safety.

Known traffic lights GOST R 52282-2004, having sections with light modules of red, yellow and green light, which alternately or together glow for a certain time according to the control algorithm specified by the controller.

Available car traffic lights have a number of significant disadvantages:

1. Due to the need to pass a large number of vehicles and the need for additional information to be sent to the main traffic light, the housing containing the front panel, in which the red, yellow and green main light signal elements are placed, began to install one, two or three sections with additional light signal elements. In these additional sections arrows are shown on the right, right or left and the operating time of a particular signal, each of these light signal elements consisting of a protruding border, a light source and a protective glass lens (RU 100317 U1, G08G 1/095, 12/10/2010 )

Known traffic lights having additional sections, unnecessarily material-intensive, have additional elements for securing the sections to each other and an increased “windage”, which creates additional wind load on the elements for securing the traffic light. A large number of sections complicate the readability of information, which complicates the correctness of the driver’s actions.

No prototype.

The task to which the present utility model is directed is to increase the safety, information content and traffic capacity of roads and intersections.

The technical result is achieved through the use of the claimed car monitor, on the screen of which a traffic light will be displayed without additional sections and all the necessary information will be communicated through three main sections.

This utility model involves the removal of all additional sections.

The essence of the proposed technical solution lies in the fact that by means of a car monitor the traffic light will become easier and clearer for drivers to perceive.

The utility model is illustrated by the following drawings, where:

Fig. 1 shows a traffic light with six sections;

Fig. 2 shows a car monitor showing the work of a traffic light when traffic is prohibited and the waiting time.

Fig. 3 shows the same car monitor, showing the work of a traffic light that allows vehicles to move to the left and the waiting time.

Fig. 4 shows the same car monitor, showing the work of a traffic light that allows vehicles to move directly and the waiting time.

Figure 5 shows the same car monitor, showing the work of a traffic light that allows vehicles to move to the right and the waiting time.

Fig. 6 shows an enlarged auto-monitor, which, with a ban on traffic for more than 60 seconds, demonstrates not only the work of the traffic light, waiting time, but also additional important information for drivers.

In Fig. 7, the same auto-monitor, with other additional information. The positions in the drawings indicate the following:

1 - red traffic light,

2 - yellow traffic light,

3 - arrow of the green traffic light, allowing traffic to the left

4 - arrow of the green traffic light, allowing traffic straight.

5 - arrow of a green signal allowing movement to the right.

6 - section showing the signal operating time or waiting time.

Instead of the old existing traffic lights, with numerous side sections, car monitors are installed, demonstrating the operation of only three main sections of the traffic light.

Car monitor works as follows.

When the red signal 1 is on (Fig. 2), the vehicle stops, while section 2 or 3 shows the waiting time 6. After the red signal goes out, the corresponding green signal 3, 4, 5 is turned on (Fig. 3, 4, 5 ) and wait time 6.

Waiting time 6 will be highlighted in the corresponding color, i.e. with a red signal, the time will be displayed in red, with a green signal - green.

In places where the waiting time exceeds 60 seconds, it is advisable to install an increased auto-monitor, which will inform drivers of additional important information

Thus, the proposed utility model will improve safety, throughput of roads, intersections and the information content of traffic participants.

Claims (1)

The car monitor is a liquid crystal display screen corresponding to the standard sizes of existing traffic lights, which shows the operation of three sections of the traffic light, red, yellow, the direction of movement in the green section and the corresponding waiting time.
